| The taste receptors on your tongue can only detect sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and "umami"--or savory--sensations. Previous studies also suggested that each tongue cell produces no more than one type of taste receptor. Unless interactions among these compounds and a thickener occur, the transfer of taste-giving substances to taste receptors and the evaporation of volatile substances during the chewing process are reduced mostly by viscosity in the mouth. |
